Hi,

Just dropping a line to say that there is always the TacoHTML software that does a pretty good job.

Cheers

@tb
intelliJ..i heard from it but, and even try it, but is so slow in my mac.

@ Guiltouf

yes i tried…is slow, I must admit I don’t like to wait for editors to make my auto-complete…and as u said in second comment, is the habit we need to fight to when we change our tools. Sadly this is reflected in productivity.
For now, I don’t manage to hit right keys on my linux machine – an Hp laptop – and still launch the Spotlight trying to autocomplete some stuff.
Anyway, to be honest, now kde3 seems a little ugly…osX is really beautiful. only if I could manage to add Quanta to it, I’d be very happy. Last night I tried to compile fink – and it failed, and i do not have the patience to retry…
I’ll make a last try with kde from 4.1 mac repository, and if not….donno.
we’ll see, I’ll keep this post updated.

PS. I’ll try again aptana , who knows… Can you suggest me what else should i install for it, as u said in your comment?

Thnx again for replies

I’ll keep this post updated

One other thing : the one thing I hate on MAC is the keyboard : you don’t see “[” & “{“… it’s just an habit to take but it’s not easy at start…

It’s my own advice… and now I have the habits

Hi !

Did you try Aptana as editor ? I use it on my mac and my pc : it’s a great dev platform.
It’s based on Eclipse and is free. You’ve SVN client, jaxer, doc, colorize, autocompletion on JS, php and CSS…

You have some things to install after the main package, but you’ll find tutorials on web.

@yobird : yes, i agree, the only thing i miss is a good autocompletion for it, and all the pretty effects eat some resources

@tb: i tryed BBEdit, looks relatively nice, except on my machine is so slow, i wonder why

thnx for replies guys

… forgot: try IntelliJ, though I’m not sure if and how it supports PHP

… look at jEdit, BBEdit and NetBeans. The last one seems to be pretty decent wtih PHP ( but it might be a resource hog )

And there’s alway vi
